El Peón tells the story of three young people, each of whom drags the legacy of an abusive childhood into adult life. Each struggles with traditional culture and new opportunities in 21st century Central America to create a life dramatically different from the other two. The children grow up...but so does the abusive father. This story illustrates the power of history and circumstance on individual character. Inventive, magical and spiritual, El Peón overflows with truth and compassion for its characters. It engenders a sense of what is profound and true in life, regardless of the period or the place.
